I felt Sarah was constrained by her advisors and the campaign to be too much a cheerleader tonight and not allowed to just be herself and take the dems to task. Having said that, she certainly held her own with Biden and, much more importantly, she connected with the American people much much better than Biden.
That will be the key from tonight.
Biden bloviated all over the place and will be shown to have made glaring misrepresentations on McCain's record and his own.
But all of that pales in comparison to Sarah's ability, even when cheerleading for McCain, to connect with the American people in her style, in her wording, and in her demeanor.
Common Americans are naturally drawn to her. She speaks to them...speaks for them. All of the MSM attempts to the contrary, that is what she does and she McCain campaign needs to have her constalntly out in front of the people doing just that.

Bumper Stickers . . . the one on Sarah’s Dad’s truck:
“Vegetarian: Just another name for a bad hunter.”
